We’re proud to announce our partnership with Runes Studio – one of France’s standout developers of premium PC and console titles. Based in Caen, Runes Studio has been on our radar for a long time. From the very beginning, their commitment to quality, their unique design sensibility, and their clear creative vision stood out. So when the chance came to finally collaborate, it felt like a natural next step. Earlier this year, during Game Camp, our co-founder Pontus Mähler had the pleasure of visiting their HQ – meeting the team in person only confirmed what we already felt: these are people who care deeply about the craft and are quietly building something special. We’re genuinely excited to support them through Agora Gaming Partners – helping shape the business, funding, and publishing side of their journey while they focus on what they do best: making great games. 🎮 Quote from Paul Vaudandaine (CEO, Runes Studio): "By teaming up with Agora Gaming Partners, Runes Studio strengthens its ability to choose the best partners for its future creations. I can't wait to reveal the projects we're working on together." 🎮 Quote from Pontus Mähler (Co-Founder, AGP): “From the moment we met the Runes team, it was clear we shared the same values: ambition, care for the craft, and a desire to make games that matter. I’m proud AGP is part of their next chapter” Big things are coming – and we’re thrilled to be part of the process. If you’re not already following them, now’s the time. 🔗 Stay tuned.

We’ve always had a soft spot for France 🎮 The games. 🧑‍💻 The studios. 🥖 The people. (And yes - the food and 🍷 wine, too) Over the years, we’ve had the pleasure of working with some incredible French developers, and we always look forward to any excuse to come back. That’s why we’re thrilled to join the 8th edition of GAME CAMP FRANCE, happening June 19-20, 2025 in hashtag#Lille - a true highlight of the European games industry calendar. Pontus Maehler Mahler, our co-founder, will be speaking in two sessions: 🎤 Solo Talk - “Closing Deals in 2025” What does it really take to get a publishing or investment deal done this year? Pontus will break down what’s changed in 2025 - from investor expectations and shifting publisher terms to how to prepare your pitch and data room the right way. It's all about helping studios navigate today’s realities and land stronger, smarter deals. 💬 Panel - “Da VC Code: Decypher Funding in 2026” Pontus will join Arturo Ivan C. (Managing Partner at Joystick Ventures) to explore the evolving funding landscape. From early-stage capital to long-term alignment, they’ll share thoughts on where things are heading - and what studios can do to stay ahead. If you’re around, come say hi - we’re always up for talking shop over a croissant 🥐. Not attending, but working on something cool? Feel free to reach out: scouting@agoragamingpartners.com #GameCampFrance hashtag#PublishingDeals hashtag#GameFunding hashtag#GamesIndustry hashtag#IndieDev hashtag#FrenchGameDev hashtag#VentureCapital hashtag#GameBusiness

We’re pleased to share that Agora Gaming Partners is supporting CARAVAN (working title) with its go-to-market strategy. 🎯 Caravan is a single-player, isometric survival game set in a dark, XIX-century world 🕯️ where every decision can mean the difference between life and death. It challenges players not only to survive but to lead, managing limited resources, navigating psychological tension among companions, and making morally complex choices that shape the journey. 🧭 What drew us in wasn’t just the game’s mechanics or art direction, though both are excellent - it was the sense of responsibility it places on the player. The weight of each choice. The trust you have to earn. The people you might lose. It’s rare to see a game where the systems and story reinforce each other this effectively. 🤝 We believe Caravan has all the hallmarks of a breakout indie success: 🔥 A strong genre-market fit with growing appetite for narrative survival experiences ♻️ A deeply replayable structure, full of emergent moments and impactful choices 🚀 A passionate, experienced team with a clear creative direction and production plan We’re now working closely with Inverge Studios S.L. to help connect them with #publishing and financing partners who can support the next phase of development and help bring this vision to players around the world. If this sounds like a journey worth joining, we’d love to hear from you - feel free to DM or drop us a line. We’re excited to welcome Inverge Studio to our growing network of partners. 🤝 #GameDev #IndieGames #GamingIndustry #SurvivalGames #Publishing #GameInvestment #AGP #GoToMarket #PitchReady #indiegame #gamedev

Agora Gaming Partners Turns 1 🎉 One year ago, we launched AGP with one clear mission: to help game studios with bold visions secure the funding, support, and partnerships they need to thrive. Since then, we've worked with incredible developers, publishers, and investors across the globe - and we’ve been fortunate to be involved in game deals totaling over $65 million in value 💸 From early morning calls ☕ to late-night meetings across time zones 🌍, every day has been a sprint - but a deeply rewarding one. We’ve seen first-hand how great games get made when creative talent meets the right resources and guidance. And this is just the beginning. In Year 2, we’re doubling down: 🚀 Launching new funding and publishing initiatives 🎤 Hosting developer-focused events 🤝 Connecting more studios with capital and strategic partners To everyone who’s supported us - thank you. Whether you’re a studio, investor, publisher, or friend, we’re grateful to build the future of games with you.

We’re heading to Reboot Develop Blue in beautiful Dubrovnik 🇭🇷 and we couldn’t be more excited to be part of the 10th anniversary of one of our favorite events in the industry 🎉 Our co-founder Pontus Mahler will be there representing Agora Gaming Partners. He still has a few open slots in his calendar, so if you’d like to chat – whether you're building something exciting or just want to connect – feel free to drop him a DM 💬 And if you can’t lock in a meeting, no stress – you’ll likely spot him at the bar or at one of the many side events during the conference. We’ve always had a soft spot for Reboot. It’s one of those events where the mix of people, conversations, and setting just clicks. And with this being the 10th anniversary, it feels like it’s going to be an especially meaningful one. The team behind it is clearly putting a lot of heart into this edition, and we’re looking forward to seeing what they’ve got in store. Not going to be in Dubrovnik? No worries.

Back from GDC and running on fumes 😮‍💨, but our hearts (and calendars) are full. This year was something else. Over 300 meetings between the five of us – from deep dives to chance hallway chats, casual coffees to fancy dinners. GDC 2025 turned out to be our most fruitful one yet, and we’ve come home with more work than we know what to do with – just the way we like it. We were supposed to host a small mixer for about 20 people but word got out, and over 60 showed up. So yeah… it kind of turned into a full-blown side event (very fancy!). It was all thrown together at the last minute, and we definitely missed many people we would’ve loved to have there. Next time, we’ll do it properly - promise 🤞 Normally, we’d fill this post with shoutouts and tags, but there were just too many of you. So here’s a heartfelt, collective thank you 🙏 to everyone we met, reconnected with, shared ideas and laughs with. See you out there - soon

Back from #GDC, running on fumes but with full hearts (and calendars). 300+ meetings, surprise side event with 60+ folks, and more follow-ups than we can count. Our most fruitful GDC yet. Massive thanks to everyone we crossed paths with - you made it special.
